X-Men: Evolution and its respective characters are © Marvel, Again I do not own them (But I sure as hell wish I did)

Summary:  Our lovely protagonist has a run in with another wall crawler, who makes him think twice, HOMe's true strength is revealed.

A.N.:  Sorry, but for now chapters are probably going to be short and angsty.  What can I say, this is HOMe having the equivalent of a nervous breakdown and an Identity crisis.   After this chapter things really get dark, and then the real tests of family start.

Response:

jc: hope you like it.

Sebastian1: You taking a crack at my story?  No way in hell will I EVER add those two, besides I never said Predators were going to make an appearance, well they might, but only in HOMe's head.

Chapter 2

Escape to a city life

The city was larger than HOME remembered, the lights frightened him and what's more he heard people talking about a "Spider-Man".  HOMe hopped he wouldn't run into the strange animal or man or whatever it was.  He just wanted, no needed to be the beast that he was.  He found someone in an ally changing and he crept closer crawling along the walls, his tail ready to strike.  As he neared the person he leapt onto the alley wall across from him, surprising the naïve alien.

"Well, you sure look like a creature feature gone bad." The masked man said.

~HOMe, not creature feature.  HOMe is monster.~ HOMe cried.

"Well pardon me for saying so, but you sure don't seem like one.  No matter how you look." The man said putting his hand on HOMe's shoulder.  "Lets say you and I talk someplace less confined, huh?"

HOMe looked up at the man and slowly nodded, something in his heart told him he could trust him, and so he followed the man to the roof.  ~How you climb like HOMe.?~ he asked when they got to the top.

"Well to tell the truth, I'm not quite sure myself.  I just can, it came with my other powers." He said as he sat on the ledge to the building.

~Powers?  You mutant too?~ HOMe asked cocking his head in his usual manner.

"Eh, that's a hard on to answer.  It's a yes and no thing.  You see I got my powers when a genetically altered spider bit me, it somehow passed it's genes along to me through it's venom and gave me the proportional strength, agility and speed of a spider.  As well as some other nifty powers." He explained.

~Oh.~ HOMe said simply.  ~Why you say HOMe not monster, when HOMe look like this.~ HOMe pointed to himself.

"Well that's easy, a monster wouldn't have the feelings enough to cry or talk." The man said somberly.

~But HOMe is different now, and HOMe kill.~ the friendly xenomorph looked to the ground.

"Who did you kill?" the man said a little surprised.

~HOMe kill one of his kind.  It wanted to hurt HOMe's family.~ 

"So, I guess you had no choice, huh?" the man again somber in tone.

~No, but HOMe not want hurt anyone else.~ the giant silver bug started to cry mentally again.

"You did what you had to, to keep your family safe." He said looking into the night  "I know that feeling."

HOMe and the man sat there for a few minute their sadness comforting each other, knowing they weren't the only ones in their position.

"Well, I'd better get going before my roommate gets suspicious." The man said getting up  "I'd think about going back home if I were you.  I'm sure your family misses you.  Uh and no pun intended."

~Ok, oh HOMe almost forgot, what your name?~ he asked as the man shot a cord from his wrist and leapt from the building.

"Who me, I'm just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man!" Spider-Man shouted as he swung to another cord.  HOMe suddenly felt very stupid and very insecure at the same time.

++++++++++++++++++++++++

It was dawn before HOMe got back to the mansion.  His alcove just the way he had left it, he heard the scurrying of the his family downstairs and rushed to the kitchen, where Logan, Rogue and Remy were sitting at the table. 

~HOMe is back and sorry for leaving.~ his said as they turned their heads to him.

"HOMe!  Rogue shouted as she hugged the big lovable bug.  "We were worried about you."  Rogue shifted uneasily as she stood up.

~Kitty-Queen mad at HOMe?~ He asked fearing the answer.

No one spoke until Logan pulled a piece of paper from his pocket.  "Bugsy, she left this for us.  It's a note telling us that she was going to look for you.  We have no idea where."

HOMe crept up to Logan and silently holding the note to the side of his head, a light crying sound was made and then he saw her.   The visions came at such a rapid pacing he could barely make sense of them, Kitty, streets, darkness a strange man, screaming.   HOMe let out a howl of pain as he tore a pat to the professor, he knew Kitty was in danger, more danger than anyone else knew.
